If you're thinking about getting away from home for a little vacation, or you're planning a big summer trip for you and the family, odds are you're not interested in breaking the bank in the process. Let's look at the five sites you voted as the best to find bargains when shopping for cheap airfare, discounted hotel rooms, and affordable rental cars.

We asked you earlier in the week which sites were your favorite when it comes to booking travel. Whether they're sites that were easy to use, had tons of options, or simply promised the lowest price on your travel arrangements, we asked and you definitely answered. We tallied the votes, and now we're back to look at your favorite picks. Photo by Sean MacEntree.

Kayak promises to be your single destination for airfare, hotel booking, car rental, and even entire vacation packages. The secret to Kayak's "search one and done" motto is in the hundreds of travel and booking sites that Kayak digs through to provide you the lowest possible price on travel. Most of you liked its rock-bottom prices and the fact that it searched a number of other great travel sites in the process.

Hipmunk up until recently the service was entirely focused entirely on airfare. Hipmunk recently expanded to include hotels, and when you find a perfect booking, it hands you off to make your travel arrangements. The service's proprietary "agony" meter for flights and "ecstasy" meter for hotels gives you a great idea of what you're getting into before you book a flight or a room. The way Hipmunk lays out search results also makes it easy for you to pick a flight or hotel that works for you.

Travelocity is one of the old guard Web sites of travel search. Just like Kayak, you can search for flights, hotels, rental cars or train tickets, or entire vacation packages. You can also book specific events. Unlike Kayak however, Travelocity allows you to book directly through them to lock in your trip details, and acts like a virtual travel agent: if you have problems or need to make changes, you call them and they'll work with you.

ITA Software's Matrix Airfare Search is a relative newcomer to the field of popular flight search services. The site comes complete with mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, and gives you the flexibility to do flight searches based on vicinity you want to visit, the event you want to attend, and more. You can also use the service to compare flights at a glance on a color-coded chart, and watch flight times and prices update in real time. The service was just purchased by Google, so keep an eye on it.

You don't have to love William Shatner to love Priceline, but it helps. The service's "name your own price" feature draws lots of attention, but if you're trying it don't expect miracles. There are plenty of great deals to find that way, but the core of Priceline's service is more like Travelocity: search for airfare, hotels, rental cars, cruises, or entire vacation packages, and the service will return the best available prices. Best of all, they guarantee the lowest price, and are willing to match other services.

Now that you've seen your five, now it's time to vote for the all-out best.

Honorable mentions this week go to Yapta, Skyscanner, Expedia, and a host of individual airline Web sites. Many of you made note that none of the booking sites have lower ticket prices than the airlines themselves offer these days, so in many cases it makes sense to go right to the source.
